"Fraser Harbutt covers an immense amount of ground in relatively
few pages. This is an excellent overview of the Cold War era,
providing a balance between the history of the period and the
historiographical debates. Harbutt's account is judicious and
fair-minded, though he certainly has a point of view and is not
afraid to express it." Richard Polenberg, Cornell
University

"Fraser Harbutt's latest book is important and distinctive
because it treats the Cold War era as more than diplomatic history.
It reveals a mastery of the historical literature, and is a fine
read that provides an evenhanded survey of a complex and critical
period in American history." Alonzo L. Hamby, University of
Ohio

"This in an interesting account and its incorporation of fine
summariesof the views of many historians and social thinkers adds
to its appeal" Victor Rosenburg, Cleveland, Ohio
